initial value for stationary and time dependent solver

I got a little confused with the initial values. For the stationary solvers, does COMSOL use this value as a first guess always? I understand that this happens for the iterative solvers, but does it also happen for the direct solvers?
And that would bring my second question, regarding the time dependent solvers. Since COMSOL needs an initial guess to determine a solution at the stationary solver (at least for the iterative solver), I suppose that it would require an initial guess for every time step, in case we are using a time-dependent solver. If so, can I determine this initial guess for every time step? And is it possible to be a different initial guess for every time step?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much!
